Elevating P2K and Guiomar Obregón's Influence Through Strategic PR and Social Media
Elevating P2K and Guiomar Obregón's Influence Through Strategic PR & Social Media
Overview: P2K, a leading Minority and Women-Owned Civil Construction Contractor based in Georgia, has established itself as a force in the sectors of Aviation, Transportation, Civil Engineering, and Special Projects over the past 25 years. With a commitment to excellence, innovation, and integrity, P2K under the leadership of CEO Guiomar Obregón, sought to further elevate its profile and showcase its diverse capabilities and accomplishments within and beyond the Southeastern states. Partnering with Hope-Beckham-Espinosa PR (HBE), the goal was to enhance Guiomar's visibility as a pioneering Latina executive in the construction industry, and by extension, highlight P2K's contributions to the field.
The Challenge: Despite P2K's significant achievements and Guiomar Obregón's unique position as a successful Latina entrepreneur in the male-dominated construction sector, broader recognition within the Hispanic community and the general business sphere needed amplification. The task at hand was not only to spotlight Guiomar's leadership and P2K's projects but also to foster engagement with a wider audience through media relations, social media, and award nominations.
Strategic Approach: Since taking over P2K's social media and general media pitching in 2021, the focus was to craft and disseminate a cohesive narrative that celebrated P2K's industry leadership, commitment to safety and innovation, and Guiomar's groundbreaking role. Through targeted social media campaigns, we highlighted P2K's ongoing projects, achievements, and community engagements, alongside Guiomar's insights and experiences as a Latina business leader.
Parallel to the digital strategy, a robust media relations campaign was initiated. Building on HBE's initial success, the effort was to position Guiomar and P2K in the spotlight with stories that resonated on both local and national levels. This included pitching Guiomar's story to key publications, securing her participation in influential discussions, and nominating her and P2K for prestigious awards that acknowledged their contributions and impact.
Results: The concerted efforts in PR and social media have significantly boosted P2K and Guiomar Obregón's profiles:
Media Visibility: Enhanced coverage across major platforms such as The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, and Univision, with notable features in local media including the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The strategic media outreach helped in portraying Guiomar not just as a business leader but as an influential figure within the Hispanic market and the broader business community.
Awards and Recognition:The campaign led to numerous accolades, reinforcing Guiomar's status as a business luminary. These include the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Women Who Mean Business and induction into the 50 Most Influential Latinos in Georgia Hall of Fame by the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Expanded Network: Through strategic introductions and networking, Guiomar's circle now includes elected officials and key figures in governmental entities, further solidifying her and P2K's influence in the construction and business sectors.
Social Media Engagement: The targeted use of social media has not only increased P2K's visibility but also engaged a broader audience with the company’s values, projects, and achievements. It has become a pivotal platform for storytelling, showcasing P2K's commitment to safety, innovation, and community involvement.
Conclusion: Through strategic public relations and social media management, P2K and Guiomar Obregón have cemented their positions as leaders within the construction industry and the Hispanic business community. The campaign has not only highlighted the unique challenges and successes of a Latina executive in a male-dominated field but also underscored the importance of diversity, innovation, and excellence in driving the construction sector forward. As P2K continues to grow, the foundation laid by these strategic efforts will undoubtedly continue to support its expansion and impact.
